Install the Metaplex Skill so your AI coding agent has accurate knowledge of all Metaplex programs, CLI commands, and SDK patterns.

Summary

The Metaplex Skill can be installed via the npx skills CLI or by manually copying files into your agent's skills directory.

One-command install via npx skills add for any compatible agent
Manual install supported for Claude Code (project-scoped or global)
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and other agents
Verify by asking your agent to perform any Metaplex operation

Via skills.sh (Recommended)

The fastest way to install. Run this in your project directory:

npx skills add metaplex-foundation/skill

This works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and any agent that supports the Agent Skills format. The command downloads the Skill files into your project so your agent can reference them automatically.

Claude Code Manual Install

If you prefer not to use npx skills, you can copy the Skill files manually.

Project-Scoped

Copy the Skill files into your project's Claude skills directory:

mkdir -p .claude/skills/metaplex

Then copy the contents of skills/metaplex/ from the GitHub repository into .claude/skills/metaplex/.

Global

To make the Skill available across all your projects:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/metaplex

Then copy the contents of skills/metaplex/ from the GitHub repository into ~/.claude/skills/metaplex/.

Verifying Installation

After installation, ask your agent to perform a Metaplex operation. For example:

"Launch a token with Genesis"
"Create a Core NFT collection on devnet"
"Mint a compressed NFT to my tree"

If the Skill is loaded correctly, your agent will reference the correct CLI commands or SDK code without hallucinating flags or APIs.

Notes

The npx skills add command requires Node.js and npm/npx to be installed
Manual installation paths differ between project-scoped (.claude/skills/) and global (~/.claude/skills/) setups
The Skill files are static references — update by re-running the install command to get the latest version
